In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.

John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR

he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable

the court as it exists today must be broken

ICE Arrests 85-Year-Old French Widow Who Married Her G.I. Sweetheart

Not only did the sons probably call ICE on her, the day after her husband died they took their dad's cars, leaving her housebound. Then they rerouted mail, causing her to miss a visa appointment & the utilities to be turned off. Tony and Gary Ross are going to hell.

Republicans😡

Grotesque: In a dispute over a will, two brothers including a retired Alabama state trooper now working at a federal courthouse, appear to have gotten their mother-in-law arrested by ICE.
Using the state to remove disfavored family members is the sort of thing that happens in totalitarian regimes.

The Republican Party, from top to bottom, are giving adjudged terrorists the ability to rearm.

The GOP is pro-terrorist and need to be called on it.

It’s frustrating, but not unexpected, that the administration has continued to downplay China and Russia’s involvement in helping Iran target US troops.

If/when this ceasefire fails, I would expect to see a big initial strike from Iran - they’ve had plenty of time to plan.

America's right-wing in a single exchange. It's perfect.

This day keeps getting worse👀

This open and notorious bad faith will be too much for even the Roberts Court to bless.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

Every damn day😡

Democratic congresspeople should fill the galleries every day with people who’ve lost their healthcare due to Republican policies.
